Stop wasting nights on the wrong videos

You open YouTube for a quick answer and end up 40 minutes deep in videos that don’t really help. The loudest titles win, and the useful content is hard to spot. With IsThisClickbait, you see what’s inside a video before you press play. Instead of guessing from a thumbnail, you read a short summary, look at the honesty check, and then choose to watch, skim, or skip.

Quickly see what a video is really about before you commit your time.

Avoid long intros, sponsor segments, and off-topic rants with a fast summary.

Let the clickbait detector flag overhyped titles so you skip clickbait videos.

Spend more time learning or relaxing, and less time hunting for a decent video.

Let the clickbait detector do the boring work
